Mary Seacole; the end of the war

The transcript describes the speaker's experiences during and after the Crimean War. It begins with the end of the war marked by the Treaty of Paris in 1856, which led to increased trade with Russia. However, the speaker faced economic difficulties as British soldiers returned home, leaving him with unsold stock. Eventually, he was declared bankrupt but received support from military officers who had known him in Crimea.
